Morley Hayes Hotel & Golf



About this course
Morley Hayes, nestled in the Derbyshire countryside, began life as a humble dairy farm before its transformation into a 27-hole golfing destination. The Main Course and the shorter nine-hole Tower Course present two distinct experiences, both carving through gently rolling parkland. The Main Course, while not demanding extreme length, favors strategic play; its fairways generously wide in places, encourage assertive drives, while shrewdly placed bunkering penalizes the wayward. Doglegs left and right present varied challenges and reward the golfer capable of working the ball both ways. Designed in-house, the courses at Morley Hayes are more about enjoyable resort golf than rigorous championship tests. While not nationally notable, the club's focus on accessibility and welcoming atmosphere has cultivated a loyal local following. The lack of pretension is refreshing, and the course's playability makes it an ideal spot for golfers of all abilities. Morley Hayes boasts a vibrant and active membership with an emphasis on community. Word has it their club championships can get fairly competitive! Visitors rave about the hearty carvery served in the clubhouse, a comforting tradition that reflects the club's down-to-earth character and commitment to hospitality.

Getting there
Most visitors to Morley Hayes Hotel & Golf arrive via East Midlands Airport, a straightforward twenty-minute drive to the northwest, while those flying into Manchester can expect roughly an hour's journey southeast through the Peak District foothills. The route from either direction threads through classic Derbyshire countryside - rolling pastureland giving way to gentle ridgelines - before turning onto narrow lanes that feel decidedly more rural than the proximity to Derby and Nottingham might suggest. The final approach winds past stone cottages and hedgerows, delivering you to the handsome Georgian manor house that anchors the estate, its warm brick facade and manicured grounds offering a quietly refined welcome just beyond the hum of the Midlands motorway network.
